“There is not love of life without despair about life.”
― Albert Camus, Lyrical and Critical Essays

“The story of my recent life.' I like that phrase. It makes more sense than 'the story of my life', because we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality- and in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization.”
― Mitch Albom, Have a Little Faith: a True Story

“I am not mad because I'm a woman... I'm mad because you're an asshole.”
― Margaret Atwood, Cat’s Eye

“Because we cannot see the roads we have not taken, we become, by defaults, advocates for the path our life is on.”
― Ethan Watters, Urban Tribes: Are Friends the New Family?
